I’m an old school hip hop dj and I’m Still rocking my 1210s with my djm s9 , I purchased the DDJ 1000 SRT a few months ago just because I wanted to have a controller and I can tell u I’m very happy with that and it’s a lot of fun. Of course if I want to do my scratches and do some battle dj stuff I go for my classic set up and I don’t need the rane one . By the way , very good review man , love your channel. Respect ✊

This was a really good review. I recently purchased the DDJ 1000 SRT however I was seriously looking at the Rane controller as well. I will keep what I but appreciate your insights👍🏾

As always your content and insights are a great source of info. Thanks for the video CT. I really appreciate it!

Thanks for doing a comparison of these two great controllers! I bought the DDJ-1000SRT just before the Rane One was released, but I returned it for the moving platters on the Rane One. It's on back order so hopefully it will live up to to my expectations. I liked a lot of the features of the DDJ-1000SRT. Especially the on board effects, which I will sorely miss. However, I am excited about gaining scratch bank, moving platters, and a crossfader curve adjust knob on the Rane One.

Great explanation on this video CT! Both Rane One and DDJ 1000 Srt are amazing kits. I am glad you explain how they differ. The choice comes down to the user and their preference. I am a controller/DDJ-mixer type DJ so that works for me. I know DJs who started with vinyl and went to Serato for digital. Those DJs will love the Rane One. Again, it depends on the type of DJ and what gear fits them.

I was pretty much set on the 1000SRT until the RANE ONE came out and just as your review of the S9, Elite & RANE 70 moved me to get the RANe 70, it will probably do the same for the ONE.. Another great review 👍🏾

Found this channel by accident but realizing that it’s one of the most informative and well presented channels on this topic out there. Well done and thank you for the content! Would love to hear your opinion on the new trend of using streaming services for dj sets and if all gear in the future will have no local files. Thanks!

I love my DDJ 1000, but can see how the rane would appeal to a certain user. Great video Terry!

Awesome review keep up the good work!

So many people are doing paid ads for one or the other, ty for doing the tough comparison!

Just found out the Rane One existed.Just faff about with beats and samples for my own pleasure but never gelled with my 1210's using Traktor S4. Dont need Mics, or four channels. This makes DJing look fun again. Scratch Bank is a godsend i'd bet I'd use it all the time. An compact AIO with motorised tables and great audio quality? Waited 20 years for this product and thought my 1210s were my forever decks. Great review. Not seen one of your videos before, had a really nice welcoming feel and packed with answers to questions I had. Thank you.

I just picked up the DDJ 1000 last week I am so loving it

I agree its all about what Kind of expectations you have. People are different. For me rane because of platter great for scratch dj. Great video👊

I'm waiting on my Rane One!!. I wanted to get as close to turn tables as possible, plus I wanted paddles. I go between mixing styles often so cross fader curve knob was one of the reason I did buy the 1000. Rane One for me!

DDJ-1K came a couple days ago and it's versatility is amazing! The small size is key!

Rane one with the vinyl attachment... bloodclaat fyah!🔥🔥🔥

Thanks CT - I think your review of these units are totally on point. I sold my ddj-1000 last week and already miss it. I'll pass on the Rane One - the jog wheel are too small for me.

I love both, just need to get me Rane one now.

thank you for the info i used 1200 for more than 30 years,thand cdjs 1000 mk3 than pioneer ddj 800 than now got the plx 1000 but with all this info decide top urchase the rane one i just order is coming in a few days i love turntabes . but with this rane one same feelings of the turntables with out getting up and down and get records, it will feel very good to just move a knobs sitting down, cause i have hip isues, thank you cleveland .very smart video

Best review! You should have more subscribers!

After watching your review, I think I will go with the Pioneer SRT-1000. I love the old school look of the Rane One, but I have to go with the 1000. Great review my dude!

If you started with CDJ type you’ll like the pioneer , if you started on turntables you’ll most like like the rane 1. I can’t do stand open platters , mine must move so rane 1 for me

Thank you sir!!! Very informative!!!

Thanks for the vid. Im sold on the Rane thx!

This is super relevant Video man, looking at picking one up for myself but cannot decide which way to go at all though i would say you can get a reasonable Laptop to go with your Pioneer for the same price as the Rane so that would tip the balance for some i am sure. Both considered the tippy top of Laptop Controllers so yes comparing them side by side is fantastic. Can you not use the Scratch Bank to layer in the extra 3rd/4th Tune/Beat/Riff/Acapella kind of like you would having a 3rd/4th Channel on the 1000? Might be a dumb question but hey i never used a Rane? Thanks Terry :)

I bought my DDJ 1000SRT in Dec 2019 as I had a pair of CDJ 800s and I wanted a controller w similar jog wheels. So far so good. I love the sound quality as well as efx and talk over mic feature. But I'm mostly a blend DJ but if you're a turntablist, Rane1 might be better for you.

This is something I have been struggling with deciding. I have my mind primarily on the Rane One. I keep looking at the issues with the Rane One and am hesitant on making the jump..

I got the DDj 1000 but god damn I didn’t know the Rane 1 would be this massive dude by side!

When one of my numark tt500s died, I looked into controllers. I had a ddj1000 for about a month, and sold it. It wasn't that I didn't love it. I did! Im a scratcher, and just missed the vinyl feel. I found an amazing deal on stanton str8150 m2's for 299 a piece new, and jumped. I'd have likely never sold the rane. Not saying my opinion should sway anyone.. but that feel is important to me. I'm gonna grab a rane too I believe, lol.

I want... both? Thanks for clearing that up!

I love my SZ2 but I’m considering getting an SRT as a second option. I love the all black look.

HELLO CT, AWESOME REVIEW ON THIS 2 MASSIVE DJ CONTROLLERS . BUT , I'VE HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU CT? WITH THE EXPLOSION THAT THE RANE ONE ! JUST HAD , DO YOU THINK THERE WOULD BE A POSSIBILITY THAT THE RANE ONE , WOULD COME OUT WITH A 4 CHANNEL CONTROLLER NEXT YEAR ?

Great point on the TT look/feel, super professional looking, familiar feeling and rock solid build quality, but the elephant in the room is definitely weight, ngl, it’s HEAVY. Mine is in a case wirh wheels but still it’s a factor for setup/breakdown. In between however all is forgotten 😂. If you gig a lot you will appreciate a lighter controller.

I have the 1000 and played the Rane One last night out in public...for me it really feels like a turntable. Took me a second to get used to being able to pitch up with the turntable, but by the end of the night I found my groove with pitching up. Obviously pitching down is much easier. My least favorite and annoying feature on the 1000 is the effects setup. I hate the on and off button and the turn knob for changing channels. I’m a blend DJ so I used effects a lot and I would always forget to cut something off or turn to the right channel. I love love love the paddles on the Rane One. Yes they def missed the mark with not having more effects tho but not a deal breaker for me. Also it does kind of sucks not having a dedicated sampler volume. Those are my only two cons for the One. Something interesting, the display for the channel gain and output gain don’t seem to read correctly. I would def say more so on the channel gain...it’s always in the red but the track isn’t even peaking on the laptop. Weird. Also, my volume on my laptop...the limiter was in the red and clipping a lot but no issues with the actual output. No clipping on the speakers nor the gain on the board. I’ve never seen this type of situation before. Overall, The One kills the 1000 for me.

Nice vid. Both are good but have the DDJ 1000 (RB) and wouldn’t swap.

its actually a very interesting, so thank you.. Guess the TL;DR is if you want/need 4 channels take ddj and if you want moving platters take the Rane One.. Just to mention that I don't have any experience on any of them, but both of them on my future list... Also, you really should add your social links to the description, wanted to go checkout IG Great stuff thanks

I bought the DDJ 1000SRT in November of 2019. Love the CDJ mechanical Jog Wheels. The goal was to get as close to a Pioneer DJM & CDJs as possible without spending the 7k. Unfortunately the unforeseen issues with Serato weren’t. Serato is a good DJ software application but they have been slacking. The DDJ XDJ XZ was something to wait for being that it can be used 3 ways, Serato, Rekordbox, and USB. The DDJ 1000SRT does have a good array of features but to be honest, I should have waited for the DDJ XDJ XZ or went with the DDJ 1000 & Rekordbox. This is a good example of not only personal preferences, but also what you have mentioned many times Terry, “Know what you are purchasing”. Maybe a video tutorial on the DDJ 1000SRT would rekindle some inspiration for many of us that have purchased. Thanks Terry for another good video 👍 DJ-T

At first I hated my 1000SRT because of the loop function but once I watched a KZfaq video on how to remapping the loop buttons now I love my 1000SRT lol

Nice comparison 😎🎧👍🏻

I got the ddj1000 and im waiting for the rane one delivery soon 🤩

You can adjust the cross fader curve in software... At least in the RekordBox version. BEST CONTROLLER EVER!!

I have the Srt 1000 , i love it . I sratch a lot & it feels good . Miss the Motorized feel , so will be going for the Rane one ☝️

The Rane One is a controller designed for Turntablists. The 1000SRT is for Club/Festival/EDM Intro Routine types. I have owned the 1000srt and now the XDJ XZ. I can't see how the Rane One would be a viable purchase for what I do, but I can see how it would be the perfect choice for a Turntablist.

The professor on deck, hello Cleveland✌ Thinking of purchasing the XDJ-XZ because it has a send input where I can connect a DJS-1000. For the sake of saving money, if I purchase the Rekordbox DDJ-1000, will I be able to hook up a DJS-1000 to the unit ?

I have the ddj1000srt... had it for about a year but I barely play all 4 channels so me getting the Rane One is a must get..... Dont get me wrong I'm loving the ddj....what really got me was that motorized plater 😀 on the Rane One.... Will they have a coffin for it??? Or just str8 table???

Hey Terry. I have the Numark ns7 ii. I've been thinking getting the rane one. Just wondering if it's worth the upgrade. Thank you for the video.

1000 FTW. I just wish it had scratch bank and the effect triggers.

1000 for this DJ but I moved to Rekordbox as well. I use to have the Numark NS7 so much like the Rane 1 oh what Rane bought Numark! So there best of both worlds if you like the platters.

Terry, what do you think between the SRT and the the Rev-7, I’m stuck between the two 😅. I once had the DDJ-1000 Rekordbox and sold that to get Rane 12’s with DJM-S11, now I need something again for smaller events.

After years of CDJs I switched to the SRT. A few months later the Rane One was released. I thought i’d want to switch but I don’t gig anymore and it doesn’t make much sense.

I want both!

Another excellent video Cleveland! I have the SRT I might get the Rane 1 just to have

For the DDJ-1000 Rekordbox version, can you select Sample Scratch mode in the Pad Editor?

I’m definitely getting a SRT1000

Cheers I use to love mixing on the 1210s so rane one is for me I think

I'd love to see a Pioneer djm s7 vs rane seventy video next!

Should I get the DDJ 1000 now or wait till Pioneer updates or releases a new and improved version?

Hey Terry can u explain how using the rane one while the platters are turned off? Do you still nudge with the platters or just the bend buttons?

I'm on the Pioneer 1000. Four volume faders easily supporting 4 decks is a no-brainer for me. If I was a devout turntablist (which I am not) style mixer, absolutely, the Rane unit would be the way to go.

Rane One feels like the Original Numark NS 7, I own both versions of the Pioneer DDJ 1000 ( REKORDBOX AND SERATO ) Just purchased the Denon DJ Prime 2 great for scratching not on the NMS/DMC level but enough to keep the crowd interested. But back to the subject at hand if you are a pure turntablist then the Rane One is a no-brainer hands down though I must add as a turntablist from the early 1980's you can improvise your scratches on any turntable or controller, but if you are the DJ who can do the dang thang on 4 decks you can do it on the DDJ 1000'S can you scratch on them HECK YES ! BUT ANYONE AND I MEAN ANYONE who has used the Numark NS7 or even the Numark V7's you will feel at home with the Rane One. It is YOUR CHOICE. CLEVELAND TERRY AGAIN EXCELLENT INFO AND UNBIASED ADVICE.

both are great.On personal level i would go with the Rane one as i started with vinyl so i like spinning platters and i like Ranes gear so that would be my choice but they are pretty different so it would be down to the buyers needs and personal taste.You would be doing well either way.

You can adjust the fader cut in on the ddj 1000 if you hold play + shift when powering on. There's other videos on this.

Rekordbox 1000 still will be my choice I love onboard effects and sample banks volume, u can use the Rekordbox sampler like scratch banks, love the Rane might get it also I didn’t know that the jogs was useless if not spinning I wouldn’t want those motors spinning all the time ,depending on the money flow might get I honestly don’t think we’re opening up till next year and if they did people are not coming out this summer like that.

Rane one is a great stuff. Just love it. Serato FX sucks but the feeling of motorized jog is Amazing.

These two machines are soo different, but at the same time, soo close, and people looking to buy a new controller, are really undecided on which one to choose. I last used 1210's in 2005, so I am swayed towards the Rane 90 percent, but possibly moving into club DJing, the 1000 also makes sense, as most if not all, clubs have Nexus 2000/3000 installed.

I've owned my Rane for over a year now and it's absolutely great. I am a sucker for an excellent deal however and I was able to get a used DDJSRT 1000 for almost half what they go for today so now I have both. Still planning on justifying owning both (and the Numark Mixstream Pro which I love dearly as well.. I hoard, I hoard!! :) )

Wanted the 1000 for the club feeling and preparation but it’s on back order til next year 😐I folded and got the rane one

NOTE: People are getting confused when I talk about the crossfader contour. I’m not talking about curve, I’m talking about the contour/weight of the crossfader which allows you to change the resistance of the fader. It has nothing to do with the cut in.

IMO, someone using turntables (like me), will probably go with the Rane One and for those who started DJing with controllers will gravitate towards the DDJ 1000. I agree with you regarding the 2 channels. I suspect that most people are only using 2 channels to mix music. You loose 1 channel for the use of the mic on the 1000 and you have 1 for an aux, while on the Rane 2 you have that aux and mic on separate switch...would that not be the same thing or are we being picky because the 1000 using up faders to control the sound or just familiarity? If familiarity is the answer, the selection of the Rane One and the 1000 would be the same, as I stated earlier. Great choices and the winner is....the manufacturer's...second place winner ( 1st loser...if you ain't winning you loosing...Ricky Bobby), the Consumer.

I would pick and prefer the 1000/SRT because I'm a fan of CDJ/DJM setup and that controller mimics the layout. I don't care about the weight and build quality. And you can still scratch on the 1000 even though Rane One was made for scratch DJs

I got the Rane one the day it arrived in stores, being one of the first to get my hands on it in this area. I have to say, it is soooo solid. Since I've gotten it, my SRT has been collecting dust. I'm out 5 days a week and I've gotten used to the weight of it and carrying it out. The sound card on the Rane is next level. The full kill eq just absolutely makes pioneer sound crappy. I loved the SRT and still do, the Rane is just too good for my preferences to be denied.

So if I understand what you said. The Rane 1 is better for the turntablist

Hey Cleveland. I just got the DDJ 1000SRT vs Rane One. I'm a vinyl person & have to get used to CDJS. Very nice controller. Can you do a tutorial? Thanks. Much appreciated.

How is the sound quality difference between the two of them?

🙏 thank you

I’d be all in on a rane one with 4 Channels so I can hook up my tables on em as well

Are the stand-alone controllers more reliable than using a laptop with one of these aforementioned controllers? Or about even?

Witch do recommend if im not a scratch dj but want to learn how to

am currently in the early stages of doing research on DJ controllers. The Rane One has caught my eye, around the 5:30 mark you talk about an effects board being built in vs using serato effects... What's the major difference? Ease of access to the effects? or is there some more nuance to it that is going over my head?

Rane One , the best!❤💖

The only thing that I can not understand is, why does RANE do not build it up a little bit more, to put 2 MagFader for the Linefader? They should build it like the Seventy and put some spinning wheels left and right on in, and it would be my dream DJ Controller.

Dj-1000 do you use a (external mixer) with your setup.. anyone who can help out thanks..

Having owned an ns73 and then upgraded to a ddj1000 rb edition, as a house/techno Dj, the 1000 is far better to use. The jogs are much easier to bend with. I found myself using the pitch bend buttons a lot with my ns73. However if you are a serious scratcher/turntableist the motorised platters are great. I just think if you do have a scratching bent, you will be more drawn to rane 12s or proper turntables using phase or dvs.

Still learning how to use the 1000...gotta learn how to use every single button. Would love a tutorial!!

DDJ 1000 🔥

I just saw a video of this guy making a review on this controller pointing out all the negatives. He said the sound quality is bad, I hear some people using an audio interface to get better sound out of it. I just order the ddj 1000 recorbox version online and I am already thinking I might have to get an audio interface to improve the sound quality. Any feedback on how to improve the sound quality? Heres the link of the video review: @

Dude,...if Rane was to add a 7",....9" center screen to the Rane One,...and releases it as the "Rane Two",...I'm all over it. That will get me back onto the dj'ing set! Heck, I'll even provide Rane with some potential model designations: Rane 2.7 ( 7" Screen) 2 channels Rane 2.9 (9" Screen) 2 channels Rane 3.0 (10" Screen),....4 Channels Edit: Oh! Don't forget to add some onboard effects,... Take my $money$ now...

I have the S11 and 12 mk2's, but I still rock my DDJ-SX lol and yes, I do have my 1200's too

What you thought on a rev7 vs 1000srt

No one ever talk about the ns7111, thing is insane.

Very well

I have the 1000srt and that's all I need in a controller with serato. Now I want a back up and the rane one might not be all that. I love the professional ins and out and construction (having the 72/12 set up) but no on board effects????? C'monn

Just waiting on Pioneer to drop theirs

Wait your 1000 says serato mine is rekordbox. I didn’t know they had a serato version😔

🙌🙌🙌

And just a add recent note Found out that isolate feet on the rane one perform horrible near heavy bass conditions, Also the RG pads are horrible to see in highlight areas or sun ☀️

Wish the rane had the 4 channels.

If your a club DJ then it’s the 1000 all day I bought mine purley for the jog wheels and effects to be like you get on the nexus but at fraction of the price , the loop facility lets it down so I’m using a SP-01 for loops. That Rane looks incredible if I was a scratcher I’d get one but I still have my technics so no need, both controllers are great though !

Can you do a video on Rane 62 and pioneer ddj sz
